The AC works awesome, can only figure a cooler roof has to help some. Anymore input on this? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Re: Let's chat about this white roof thing.

If its light in color I have to imagine a white roof will only help marginally. If its dark on the other hand, it will not only bee easier to keep cool with your AC but I would think it will be marginally cooler parked in the sun versus a rig with a dark roof... At least that's my WAG...

All that heat is radiating inside.
